Steps:
- Make the cookie dough: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars on medium speed until lightly and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Next, with the machine running on low speed, add the eggs one at a time until incorporated, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Then add the vanilla and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Whisk together. With the machine running on low speed, add the flour mixture and mix just until you no longer see any bits of flour.
- Make the cinnamon sugar: Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir together and set aside.
- Form and bake the cookies: Using a 2-inch ice cream or portion scoop, scoop the dough into 6 mounds, scraping each against the bowl as you scoop. Roll each mound in your hands to form a ball. The dough will be very soft, so handle carefully and work quickly. Drop each ball into the cinnamon sugar and roll around to completely coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time until the cookies have puffed up and the tops begin to crackle, 11 to 13 minutes. The bottoms will get darker than the tops. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat forming the remaining dough into balls and bake 6 cookies at a time.
- Serve the cookies or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter: This ensures that you have control over the amount of salt in the cookies. If you only have salted butter on hand, omit the added salt in the recipe.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This results in a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape. This will help them to bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: This will ensure that the cookies are cooked through without being overcooked.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soft and chewy.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon sugar cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With their soft and chewy texture and sweet cinnamon sugar coating, these cookies are sure to be a favorite.
